<VV> A/C installation

Sun Jul 30 22:15:38 EDT 2017

Bob - That is the mark of a factory install (vs. a dealer install.)  The 
Fisher Body factory made all those holes in a bare body shell, before paint  
and before it went over to assembly by Chevy. No wires, no carpet, no  
nothing. (Torch, anyone?) The poor dealer had to disassemble the car to a  certain 
point to make most of those mods, then put it back together. He couldn't  
use a torch. Of course, maybe the guy who did your car also "Just had a bad  
day!"  <grin> -Seth

In reference to at least the '66 AC 140  Corsas I parted out the AC parts 
on a ''66 Corsa  convertible wreck and  was surprised at how crudely some of 
the holes were cut in the body for the AC  system.  Especially the holes on 
the left and right sides of the dash for  the cold air outlets.  It was as 
if the guy doing it was mad at the  car.

Dave and I wonder if a few of  those engines could have been spares, in 
case one was need as a replacement.  So, the most-conservative way to look at 
it is: no more than 153 were made --  possibly somewhat fewer.

I own one of the Willow Run factory AC  Corsas. I did start a registry 
years ago but had no info coming in after one  or two commented. Yes it is 
believed there were 153 produced because that's  how many engines unique to 
Corsas with AC were produced. Dave Newell was the  person who researched the 
Tonawanda engine plant information to come up with  the number.

Thanks for the info. I believe I did the  search correctly, and found no 
air conditioned Corsa listed. I know they were  produced. Does anyone have any 
info about them? I would be interested in how  many were produced, and how 
many are thought to have survived. Thanks for your  help.

It is believed that 153  were built, including WRN and LOS production. I 
would guesstimate there are at  least 50 still around. I have an AB LOS Coupe. 
I tell people, if they ask,  that it is probably one of 30 coupes made in 
LA. 
They are rare enough that  each one is probably very close to the only 
example  made in that  combination at that  plant.

I found a generator in my stash. I don't do  earlies. What do the 1102226? 
3c25 numbers indicate? Somebody want it?  Shipping cost only.

Am I the only person to  struggle to get enough legroom in these cars? 
(64 convertible). I am 6 ft  in my socks. I just had one of the runners 
to bits & it looks like  they could be made to slide further back but 
they don't want to play. Some  GM magic at work there by the look of it. 
I think I'm going to have to  make some adaptor  brackets?
